Treasures!

For those of you that know me, you will know that one of my favourite past-times is to spend hours poking around op shops and other second hand places. So, you can understand that I got pretty excited to learn that here in Munich, their Summer festival kicks off with a Flea market! But it didn't end there - we later learnt that this is the biggest flea market held in Europe each year! 


There were SO MANY AMAZING THINGS!!!!!! This was a slightly torturous experience, as I knew I couldn't buy anything (no room in the suitcase) so it was a 'window shopping' expedition. Sadly, I didn't feel it was a context to take too many photographs, so I only managed to capture a small snippet of what was actually there. 



This is a view from the hill off to the side to give you a bit of an idea of how big it was!


This little boy sat for such a long time, before finally making his decision about what to buy.


Suitcase anyone?


The Flea Market was held in the grounds where Oktoberfest is held, so we had a quick peek inside one of the beer tents on our way out.

In conclusion Chris and I both agreed that we would have to return next year with a shipping container ready to fill and send back :)
